If the EMG was clean and BFS the diagnosis, there should be no reason to worry about your voice in terms of ALS, but if it persists even after hydrating more, using cough drops and addressing allergies, you might see an ENT.

I wouldn’t be worried about the CK. It’s a nonspecific test that can be elevated for all sorts of reasons including normal variant, exercise, dehydration, intramuscular injections, up following an EMG, medications, hypothyroidism, and a whole host of other conditions. A value of 370 really isn’t all that high.

You’ve had a clean EMG. You’ve seen a neurologist and a rheumatologist. If they aren’t finding anything worrisome, then why worry?
